Report: Donald Trump golf club investigated over taxes
NEW YORK -- Donald Trump's company is under criminal investigation by a district attorney in a New York City suburb into whether it misled officials to cut taxes for a golf course there, according to The New York Times.
The district attorney's office subpoenaed records from both the Trump National Golf Club in Westchester and the town of Ossining, which handles the club's taxes, said the Times, citing "people with knowledge of the matter." The newspaper didn't say why those people had requested anonymity.
The probe led by District Attorney Mimi E. Rocah, a Democrat, appears to focus in part on whether the former president's company submitted misleading valuations on the golf course.
In a statement, the Trump Organization suggested the probe was politically motivated, noting that it had hammered out a compromise with the town over its long-running efforts to cut taxes in June, a deal signed off on by a county judge.
